Default "to get the film developed" or "to process the film"?

hi,

in case i take pictures with a non-digital camera and i want to transform the film into pictures, how should i express myself?

i would like "to get the film developed".

i would like to "process the film".

i've seen both, but it seems that, depending on the region, one is more used than the other.

which one should i use in the usa and canada?

thanks.
